A little summary for those who want it. I can post scans if needed.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: First issue of Schism shows that nations the world still feel threatened enough by mutants(despite their being roughly 200 left) to maintain, re-comission, or build Sentinels after you guessed it, Quentin Quire, AKA Kid Omega interrupts a speech held by Cyclops and mentally compels the entirety of the world leaders there to divulge their darkest secrets. Secrets like a father beating his children simply because he because he enjoys it, a man shooting another man just to watch him die, and a man cheating on his wife of 35 years while she dies of leukemia. With another twist, it turns out that Carlton Kilgore, head of one of the world's largest weapons manufacturing companies 12 year old son, Kade is responsible for Quire escaping. He kills his father and takes over the company. At the end of the issue we discover this was the first step in a multi-step plan to gain him acceptance into the Hellfire Club. He's now the Black King and the seeds had been sown....SCHISM!!!!

Yeah, but considering they've trained with Xavier for many years, and been around Jean and Emma and Psylocke, three of the most powerful telepaths in the world....it's not much of a stretch.
When was that definitely established? I mean Scott was Charles first student AND he was/is the man of the two best female telepaths earth has ever seen, the man who managed to imprison the Void within his psyche.
Yeah, it was not bad, but let's not forget that even Scott admitted the mental attack wasn't directed at him and Logan.

A sliver of Void with some help from Emma at least on the beginning iirc.
Wolverine has lv9 psionic shields implanted by Xavier that were referenced on panel, psychic scar tissue, superior willpower and his famous berserker rage. And not many can handle browsing through his memories that are absolutely no picknick. He resisted Phoenix and I believe he simply has more feats in that department.
* i wonder what would really trigger the schism... Scott and Logan are like inseparable duo in this premise... although there will be an inevitable brawl between them, i hope it ends well between them and all mutantkind...
So the main threat is a [SPOILER - highlight to read]: giant Sentinel? So predictable after reading Prelude and Schism #1... Not to mention it happened before. Sigh.
